Presses and Impressions

I started with the Lee anniversary setup i think it was. Then a while back when i wanted to upgrade and my space was limited i watched the video from Gavin at ultimate reloader, and decided on the Lyman Brass-Smith Ideal, and have been very happy with it
 
I have the RCBS Summit and need to get it set up to use. I will be getting the upgrade for the linkage a mentioned above to mitigate the slop that can appear over time.
I find it interesting that Federal's Custom Shop uses this press for all of its custom handloading and load development.

Over the years I have also wanted the Redding T-7 and the Forester, but have not gotten either as yet...but I have used DrMike's from time to time and do like its simplicity!
 
I currently have 5 centerfire presses and 2 shotgun presses.

RCBS RockChucker: solid reliable press, but now regulated to a e-capping station.
Redding Ultra-Mag; bought it when forming a wildcat and loading for BPCRs, it's now my mainstay for rifle reloading.
Dillon 550B: all handgun, 223 and .308 bulk
Dillon 650: 9mm and 223 for IDPA and 3Gun

Ponsness Warren 375C: 20, 16 and 12Ga
Ponsness Warren 900E: 12GA
16 is a good gauge to be loading for!
Haven’t heard of Ponsness Warren. Will keep my eyes open!

Gil, thanks for sharing Federal is using them!

Here ya go!

 
I've loaded a fairly long time but haven't used many presses. Started with a RCBS Rockchucker, then went to the cast iron LEE "O" frame press. I got the Frankfort Arsenal M Press aa few years ago and love it. It's a coaxial press and loads very consistent ammo. It looks like the Forster but with a few differences. Price being the biggest difference.
